……

He had cultivated his Wind spiritual root to Foundation Establishment Stage, Level Six; except for the Thunder spiritual root, the other spiritual roots were still at Level Five.

With nothing else to do, Logan Carter idly opened the relationship view.

Ruby Sutton had actually broken through to the Foundation Establishment Stage.

Interesting.

Elder Grant was still at Foundation Establishment Stage, Level One.

Logan Carter opened his mail to check.

【Your friend Zachary Moore was attacked by a demonic cultivator and was nearly seriously injured】

【Your friend Zachary Moore was attacked by a disciple of the Yuqing Sect, was on the verge of death, and fell off a cliff】

Logan Carter was speechless.

As expected, there was something fishy about that cave dwelling—good thing he didn’t go.

Zachary Moore was really too unlucky; Logan Carter could only silently pray for her.

“Roar—”

Suddenly, a roar came from outside the pavilion. Logan Carter frowned and immediately got up.

Walking out the door, he saw a white cat standing on a tree branch.

This white cat was slender, but had the markings of a white tiger, and its purple eyes looked even more demonic.

Logan Carter didn’t sense any danger, so he ignored the little white cat.

Just then!

The white cat suddenly pounced at Logan Carter.

Logan Carter instinctively used Sevenfold Phantom Steps to dodge.

The white cat crashed into the pavilion wall, kicked off with its four legs, and turned to pounce at Logan Carter again.

Logan Carter frowned. The restriction hadn’t been triggered?

He quickly leapt out, arriving at the open ground.

The white cat pounced again, its speed several times faster than before, like lightning.

“So fast!”

Logan Carter used Sevenfold Phantom Steps, splitting into seven afterimages to surround the white cat. The seven Logan Carters raised their hands simultaneously, firing the Absolute Finger Divine Sword.

The white cat looked left and right, and was caught off guard by the real sword energy.

Blood splattered, and it howled in pain.

It quickly jumped away, darted straight into the forest, and disappeared.

Logan Carter withdrew his hand and returned to the pavilion.

He let out a long breath and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.

Fortunately, he had learned Sevenfold Phantom Steps in advance; otherwise, with the white cat’s speed, his previous self really wouldn’t have been a match.

“What’s the origin of that white cat? It’s so fast, but luckily it doesn’t have any other means of attack.”

Logan Carter thought to himself.

Looks like I’ll have to be more cautious in the future.

With that, Logan Carter continued cultivating.

……

Inside a palace.

The teaching elders of the Eighteen Peaks were all gathered here.

“With the sect master away, and the recent beast riots in the Myriad Demon Realm, it’s up to us to investigate,” one elder said.

He was the teaching elder of Heavenly Thunder Peak, Elder Raymond.

“This matter is rather suspicious. I keep feeling it’s related to the Qingming Demonic Sect.”

“That’s right. Demonic cultivators from the Qingming Demonic Sect have appeared near Leon Thompson’s cave dwelling. I suspect there’s a traitor among our higher-ups. As soon as the sect master left, they started a series of actions.”

“Could it be that the Qingming Demonic Sect wants to use the beasts of the Myriad Demon Realm?”

“Very likely. After two hundred years of cultivation by the Yuqing Sect, the Myriad Demon Realm has become a force to be reckoned with.”

“Let’s send more disciples into the Myriad Demon Realm.”

The elders all spoke at once.

Fairy Ruby sat quietly, not joining in.

After a long discussion, each peak finally decided to send two more disciples into the Myriad Demon Realm.

The elders each left. As Fairy Ruby was about to leave, Elder Raymond suddenly called out to her.

When only the two of them were left in the hall, Elder Raymond finally asked, “Junior sister, why didn’t you say a word just now?”

Fairy Ruby replied calmly, “These matters can be decided by you all.”

Elder Raymond narrowed his eyes and asked, “Do you know where the sect master took those eighteen core disciples?”

Fairy Ruby did not answer.

“If there really is a traitor among the elders, then you’re the only one I can trust, junior sister. We must work together,” Elder Raymond said seriously.

Fairy Ruby replied, “Of course. After all, we come from the same lineage.”

Elder Raymond smiled in satisfaction.

……

Myriad Demon Realm.

Two years had passed since the white cat left, and all five of Logan Carter’s elemental spiritual powers had reached Foundation Establishment Stage, Level Six.

Steady progress!

He was now more than halfway to the Golden Core Stage.

“My young friend, are you treating the Myriad Demon Realm as your cultivation ground?”

A teasing voice sounded. Logan Carter opened his eyes and saw that, at some point, an old man had appeared at the door.

The old man wore coarse clothes and shook a wine gourd in his hand, his nose red from drunkenness.

Logan Carter frowned and asked, “Who are you?”

He hadn’t even noticed the other’s approach.

Too dangerous!
